“PearAI, an open-source AI code editor. When people looked at its code they found that it was a clone of an existing open-source project called Continue.dev.”
- add-sub-mul-div 2y agoWhy should people be dissuaded from clicking twice to develop a more nuanced take of their own than a two sentence summary from a stranger with unknown biases?
- sanswork 2y agoIf the link is to indiehackers it's just going to be a forum post from another stranger with unknown biases.
- islewis 2y agoRegardless of what you think of Pear, making the claim that they have damaged Y Combinator's reputation is pretty dramatic. Knowing the title is in reference to Pear (and not something that could be _actually_ damaging to YC's rep) lets me know the article is probably isnt worth the time.
- fakedang 2y ago> Regardless of what you think of Pear, making the claim that they have damaged Y Combinator's reputation is pretty dramatic. YC's main value is in subsequent fundraising, wherein companies are pre-vetted by YC before being invested in by VCs. If they lose the confidence of VCs as being a reliable arbiter of preseed startups, the better startups will just go elsewhere (already happening) and soon the VCs will too. Thus harming YC's reputation massively.
- dartos 2y agoAlso worth noting that continue is also YC backed
- heroprotagonist 2y agoWait, so that's.. three open source AI code editors backed by YC so far, or more? Including Void, Continue, and PearAI.
- dartos 2y agoThere’s probably a few, but it’s funny bc Pear is a fork of Continue
